Tenet (2020)

Hello kiddies!

I hope everyone is well and staying safe.

Having said that, Tenet managed to draw me out of my shell and visit an Imax cinema today and...

My head hurts (I don't think I have Covid-19 from this outing. At least I hope not... The things I do for youse...)

It hurts because my brain had to process all THAT info to "get" the movie...

So,

In Inception his explore human's thoughts/perceptions. The Dark Knight, Nolan explored, the darkness of the human psyche. Interstellar, space and in Tenet... time?

What will he think of next? Anti matter? Black Hole?

The start of the movie, is ironic.

The real world is still in the middle of a pandemic.

And the movie begins with a pack concert hall, and not for long...

The movie grabs your attention from the first frame, and does not really let go until the last frame...

I read as little as possible about the movie, before watching it and still, I did know that Robert Pattinson and Kenneth Branagh are in it.

Even with this knowledge, I was surprise to see them, when they appeared on the screen.

I like this feeling!!

Another surprise was to see a hydrofoil catamaran working. I have NEVER seen those before (No that I am very knowledgeable about nautical stuff).

This movie is... good.

I love the casting.

I love the story.

I love the direction.

I really don't want to spoil anything for you.

I have however promise you the following.

1). There are NO Beatles tracks.

2). There are NO sparkling vampires...

I will leave you this quote

This movie supposedly cost Warner Brothers USD 205,000,000 to make.

I think with everything happening, Warner may end up with a BIG winner, in terms of movie producer this year.

Keep safe everyone.

I watched it once and then read up online once, and called it a day.  biggrin.gif 

It didn't engage me to go into depth as much as "Inception" which I kinda traversed forums and discussions for weeks after release.

Don't get me wrong, "Tenet" is a fantastic Nolan film that is high on entertainment value, but it is not as engaging as his previous works.

The whole movie really does not give you time to think things through while you view it, does it... sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif

2nd viewing is a must if you want to dive deeper into the movie details

I agree.

And have to add, with the pandemic, I am kinda limiting myself to risking myself one time for each movie... sweat.gif

What do you guys think of Sator as a villain?

I think hes not that evil. Selfish yes, but not inherently evil.

His wife, Kat is not exactly innocent either, she conspires with Arepo to con him of his money, tries to murder him twice and generally does not seem to show any attribute of a good wife throughout the whole movie.

The movie also does not go into detail on why their marriage failed, one of the many things left to our imagination.

Most successful villains do not see themselves as villains. They only come ac-crossed as villainous....

They usually think they are right.

All boils down to intent
